Nice rifles. The Diopler sights look so cool. I have one rifle with them, but needs service, so I don’t shoot it. One day. Enjoy Crow

Normally I shoot 2 differen rifles daily. Since Sat. at midnight the rain started, destroyed my driveway. My gun room is in the basement and my range is off main floor. Two guns, one in each hand. Up the stairs.
When it rains it’s gun day so I’ll shoot at least 5-6 guns sometimes more. Well easier for me to take up several.
Going up for today, Pro Sport .177, HW 85 .177, HW77 .22, HW80 .177, HW 95 .177 and R9.20..
Going down. Yesterday’s choice. HW98.22, R7.177, TX200 Hunter.177, TX200.22and a HW97KT.25. The R7 and 98 we’re amazing.
When we built my wife has bad foot and my knees are not the best and age slows you down. We only have a bungalow, so I don’t use a lot but it’s dam handy for times like these. Crow

Quickly got used to it even with my big hands. Rowan Engineering adjustable butt pad, ARH internals. Started life with the plastic thumbhole, I don't do thumbholes. Sold it, bought OEM.

Finally got my FWB Sport up and running!
And spanked a few sparrows this morning.
Breaking in nicely and very very accurate!

Nice guns. These are I think before my time. The P2 looks like my P11 but your grips are smoother which I like. And the R8 looks like my HW85. I use to have a HW Beeman conversion chart from DualMagMike which I saved so well can’t find where I saved it. Crow

Sweet gun. I know some guys don’t like the trigger guard. I love the geometrics of it. It’s different. Had to have one. Enjoy. Crow

Finally I put over 500 rounds through my R9 .20. More than satisfied. To good to be true. No adjustment on scope, serious right from the start. Crow

Hatsan Alpha Youth .177
Hatsan Air Tact .177
Hatsan 1000x .25
All shot at 18 yards. The .25 caliber is very accurate at 18 yards. I hit a dot the size of a .25 caliber pellet pretty regularly from 18 yards then miss most things at other ranges. I need a mil dot instead of my Tasco 4x fixed scope.

No, not like the 77/97. when you cock the gun, the under lever cams a loadin block or breech block straight up, about the same position as the open loading port on the 77. You can then close the underlever or leave it open and insert a pellet into the breech block. After the under lever is returned to battery you push the breech block down and the gun is ready to shoot(after disengaging safety) No chance of fingers getting caught if the piston is released accidentally.

Can’t beat Airgun therapy to help out during tough times.
The PS is in .22 and the 97 in .177. Both tuned by me with JM parts. The 97 has a buzz upon firing but I think it’s due to the cocking lever release button. I don’t want to mess with her bc she is super accurate. Almost effortless to shoot one holers.
Take care

Gabe those two rifles need a little more rubbing than that. Both gorgeous rifles. Good luck. Crow

well. shoot. or no shoot i guess lol
started out so well, 1st 10 a good warm up... suddenly shots wander.
with the diana 350mag, it's almost always a screw loose. went to go tighten-up, and i guess i'm a nut short.
can't find it anywhere, even went over the area with a magnet. oh well, i needed to address that issue better anyway, and new bolts is probably the answer. it never has held more than oh, 50 shots before loosening up again. and i've tried all the fixes i've found. anyway, that's another thread.
so, guess it's on the wall, and i'm back to my 2nd best shooter today, a daisy. does that count as a springer?
